Students may graduate with distinction in the Health and Biomedical Law Concentration by writing a Thesis of publishable quality, supervised and approved by a resident faculty member. The Thesis must be completed by the time of graduation, but arrangements for faculty supervision and topic approval, as well as significant work on the project, should be initiated at least two semesters before anticipated graduation. Thesis topics must relate to health or biomedical law and must be approved by one of the Health and Biomedical Law Concentration Faculty Directors and the supervising resident faculty member. Two (2) course credits will be awarded for the successful completion of the Thesis.

Alternatively, students may choose to satisfy to satisfy the Concentration's legal writing requirement by meeting the Law School's Legal Writing Requirement in connection with an approved Health and Biomedical Law Concentration course.
